Kate was raised in the Holy Divine Church—it influenced everything from her homeschooling to her handmade clothes. But ever since her unbelieving father's death last year, she has suspected that there's more to life than memorizing scripture.<p> Taking advantage of their move to a new town, Kate—to her devout mother's horror—quits Holy Divine. She joins the cross-country team, wears shorts to public school, and even tries a traditional Christian church. As she struggles to come to terms with her father's death and her mother's unquestioning beliefs, Kate discovers there's a big difference between religion and faith—and that the two don't always go hand in hand.

A great mash-up of heavy topics for teens: death of a parent, moving to a new school, questioning religion, homophobia, and of course the ever present how to fit in with peers. Recommended reading for YA's switching from religious school to public s...more...]]>

I enjoyed the story, but it is not a middle school book for 6-8. Very definitely a high school book. I have to wonder if the author came from around my community.]]>

An interesting insight into a girl breaking free from her mother's unnamed constrictive Church, as she also comes to term with her father's death. This isn't a book for every reader, but one that will provoke interesting self-reflection for certain readers. As evidenced by the afterword, this ...more...]]>
